Both incremental and radical business process change are undoubtedly core tasks of Business Process Management (BPM) and, thus, organizational design. The competence to successfully pursue such BPM initiatives represents an important capability which is needed by organizations exposed to a dynamic business environment. While the term BPM is omnipresent, research still lacks both a clear understanding...
Performance measurement of business processes is necessary to ensure adequate information supply to the management. Though, the assessment of rather qualitative or non-deterministic processes is hard, because common analyzing and controlling approaches are restricted to the use of numeric indicators. Important qualitative performance aspects remain invisible. To bridge this gap, we introduce the concept...
This paper is presenting an idea of applying the Scrum framework in the IT service support domain. Scrum framework is mainly used with conjunction of other agile methods in software development domain, but almost, no reporting for its usage in the support of that software, except in few cases. Scrum framework can be applied at small, medium, and as well as large organizations, and companies. We expect...
Software development processes are essential for an organization to obtain the required levels of productivity and quality. The productivity analysis of agile and traditional development processes is an open and few explored research area, which has attracted the interest of industrial and academic fellows in order to take advantage of the strengths of both approaches. This research aims to investigate...
The demand transmission process manegement is an important part of supply chain management. In comparing the current transmission process, the integrated demand transmission process has more advantages than others, but it also faces a series of risks. Because of the information-sharing platform, internal and external demand for effective integration, rigorous mechanisms in fractal reengineering demand...
The Cloud is evolving as a cost-effective solution to run services that support a variety of business processes. It is not surprising then that Orchestration as a Service (OaaS) is gaining importance as a means to integrate the many services a typical company runs or out sources in the Cloud. OaaS requires very efficient orchestration engines: the faster they work, the less customers have to pay and...
An organizational design based on process cascades is an approach where the business process design of the organization is based on internal customer-supplier relationships. The approach is based on the idea that, in general, each business process is activated by an order which is placed by another business process. The receiving process executes the order and delivers the results back to the ordering...
In this paper we describe the application of process mining techniques to analyze a software development process. Software engineering practitioners often conduct quality auditing of the development process to assure conformance with organizational standards. Despite some works have explored process mining techniques for the conformance analysis of general business processes, it is not of our knowledge...
This paper aims to investigate the tools and techniques for quality adopted by the automotive related companies in Malaysia and Indonesia and to find out the benefits and shortcomings of these quality tools and techniques; considerations in selecting quality tools and techniques; and the difficulties faced by automotive industries in adopting these tools and techniques. Semi-structured interviews...
This paper studies the correlation among supply chain control, trust and supply chain relational risk, using factor analysis and regression analysis. The study was conducted by investigating 115 manufacturing firms in China. The findings support the hypothesis that supply chain control can effectively prevent supply chain relationship risk, where trust plays an important mediating role.
Organizations around the world are increasingly striving to adopt internal management systems and continuous improvement strategies to be able to compete in the global marketplace. In this context, Six Sigma and ISO 9001 quality management systems (QMS) are two well-known and popular approaches. Although their scopes diverge, there are many potential beneficial synergies between them, which can be...
This study looks at software measurement practices and experiences related to software engineering in Finland. This paper uses the results of an empirical case study to examine how measurement was implemented in practice from the perspective of the software process. The research was motivated by the challenges recognized in the implementation and execution of measurement in software development work...
In the papermaking process the control of pulp proportioner in some extent decides the performance index of paper sheet. According to the analysis of process of Continuous and intermittent pulp proportioner, pulp calculation and software program are proposed. Long practical operation shows that the system with convenience and low cost can realize the pulp requirements accurately and reliable as well.
Distributed connected-grid generator becomes an important approach to utilize renewable energy. However, traditional distributed connected-grid inverter can't be controlled and still can not be accepted by Power Grid Company. On the basis of conventional connected-grid inverter, a novel connected-grid inverter controlled by center controller was designed, which gets separate dq current component by...
In this paper, soy isoflavones as raw material, the use of acid hydrolysis of cellulose daidzein, soybean isoflavones by HPLC method and daidzein content of the orthogonal design, the system of the substrate concentration, enzyme concentration, conversion time on the soybean isoflavone daidzein into effect, the best single-factor test verification transformation temperature, pH, to determine the optimal...
This article deals with case study of application of information tools in study program “Computerized control of electrical technologies” during the project — based education approach.
Grounded on integration theory of resources and capabilities, this paper explains three kinds of mergers and acquisitions (M&A): horizontal mergers, vertical mergers, and mixed mergers and acquisitions. The motivation behind mergers and acquisitions is that companies expect to create value for business through the integration of resources and capabilities. Implications on this new motivations...
Weaving together information spread over several public and private organizations is crucial for managing catastrophic events and for realizing resilient social infrastructures. While beneficial in emergencies, an unlimited access to (sensitive) data is usually defined as the worst case in any privacy or IT security scenario. As a solution to this tradeoff, the transferability of successful methods...
The result of a model-based requirements verification shows that the model of a system satisfies (or not) formalised system requirements. The verification result is correct only if the model represents the system adequately. No matter what modelling technique we use, what precedes the model construction are non-formal activities. During these activities the modeller has to learn how the system works,...
Internal control evaluation is the secondary control of internal control itself, which is the important segment to realize the internal control goals. At present, because the internal control evaluation mainly serves for audit in our country, it has some significant limitations about the evaluation body and the evaluation standard, which restrict the effective implementation of internal control. Therefore,...
